A Guide to Fiber End Face Shape and Polish
PC end faces were polished into a subtle convex shape, improving fiber core contact and significantly reducing reflections. It was the primary end-face type for SC, FC, and ST connectors at
The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
The connector in the middle shows contamination from some liquid, but the rings around the fiber show the epoxy on the fiber end was not completely polished off.
Fiber Endface Inspection – connectors, bare fiber ends, cleanliness
Fiber microscopes illuminate the properly fixed endface (often with an LED) and show a magnified image through an eyepiece. They are simple and can reveal very fine detail, but results are operator
